For those R1 admits do you mind sharing what came in your acceptence packet? Iam a R2er who has done the interview and is anxiously waiting.. Specifically:
1) any financial aid info?
2) did anyone attend the admit weekend - if so how was it?
3) how long did they give u to reply/post a deposit and how much was it?
4) what all else was required.. I noticed a small discrempency with the dates of an old employment.. Is there a background check? Should I notify them now? Or let the review process take its course and bring it up later??
5) those who turned it down.. Any particular reason y?
1) I received the financial aid info along with the decision. The welcome binder reiterated the same.
2) I am international student, so couldn't attend the welcome weekend.
3) The results were announced on Jan 15 and we had time till March 1 to pay the $1k deposit.
4) From what I know, all schools do a background check with a random sample of students. If it's a minor discrepancy it shouldn't matter. But I don't think it'll hurt your chances if you drop a mail clarifying it.
5) I accepted my offer
